Podolia

Podolia is a region of western Ukraine on the border with Romania. It used to be a part of Poland, but the Russian Empire annexed the region in 1792 and added it to their Ukrainian possessions; in 1945, it was added to the Ukrainian SSR at the end of World War II and taken away from Poland. Today, it includes Ternopil Oblast, Vinnytsia Oblast, Odessa Oblast, Cherkasy Oblast, and Khmelnytskyi Oblast.
